Bret "The Hitman" Hart is optimistic about his biggest fight yet.

Hart is a WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend. He announced he is battling prostate cancer on Feb. 1, had surgery this week as part of his treatment and declared on Friday that his procedure was a success.

Hart, 58, was forced to retire from pro wrestling in 2000 after a concussion one year earlier. He had a stroke in 2002 that left him in a wheelchair, but he made a number of appearances in the ring since.
